Some bosses, it turns out, aren't very good at communicating.

And that is leading to a breakdown in employee morale at a time of economic uncertainty and fear, according to a new survey by Menlo Park, Calif.-based Accountemps.

A lack of open, honest communication was cited as having the most negative impact on employee morale, by more than a third of the 150 senior executives polled nationwide. Failure to recognize employee achievements (19 percent) and micromanaging (17 percent) were other reasons.
